There are also reports that more than 40 Ukrainian POW's who fought in Azovstal plant, were killed in an "attack." Russians are claiming this was a HIMAR attack, but more likely it's just another mass murder by Russians, staged as an artillery strike. We will see what kind of reaction the west will have, it seemed after Bucha lots of heavy weapon systems were on the table. I hope there is a reaction because these actions are almost definitely not isolated incidents, but a trend by a nation of evil.
I am extremely concerned that these incidents are far more widespread than anyone wants to accept. I previously linked an article talking about mass forced deportations. What do we think is happening to the *900,000* Ukrainians who were forcibly deported to Russia after having their passports, electronic devices, and other personal items confiscated? There are reports that Ukrainian kids are being put up for adoption by Russian families, never to be returned home. Not all the adults are being tortured and murdered presumably, but their lives as they knew them may be over. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/202...y-blinken/
Edit: This should surprise no one. Putin also helped orchestrate similarly horrific events in Syria not too long ago. When people call Putin a murderous dictator, they are understating the truth. He's likely responsible for deaths on a scale comparable to the Rwandan and Darfuri genocides. When his record is complete, he may well be the bloodiest dictator since WWII.
